CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Football senior defensive end Zach Hodges has been named to the College Sports Madness FCS Preseason All-America first team, the organization announced. He is the only Ivy League player to be named to any of the three CSM FCS Preseason All-American teams.

The accolades continue to roll in for Hodges, as he has also been named to the Butkus Award Watch List, the Sports Network Preseason All-American First team and the CSM All-Ivy first team.

In 2013, Hodges earned multiple first team and All-American honors after finishing the season with 40 tackles and 6.5 sacks, ranking second and first, respectively, in the Ivy League.

Hodges' 18.5 career sacks put him fifth all-time and only two behind current leader Chris Smith '98.
